Turning 40 is a milestone worth celebrating, and for Heart Evangelista, it was an event marked by elegance, sophistication, and heartfelt moments. The actress and global fashion icon, known for her impeccable style, hosted a grand birthday celebration that embodied grace and understated luxury. Held at Whitespace Manila, the event was a testament to her refined taste and timeless appeal.

Instead of opting for vibrant reds in line with Valentine’s Day, which coincides with her birthday, Heart chose a more subtle and graceful theme. Her trusted event stylist, Badang Rueda, crafted an atmosphere of delicate beauty, transforming the venue with romantic ceiling drapery, candelabras, and ghost chairs.

A long banquet table took center stage, crowned by a breathtaking cake masterpiece created by Chef Castillo Fuentes, while renowned chef Florabel Co-Yatco curated the evening’s exquisite menu, ensuring that the celebration was as indulgent in taste as it was in style.

No grand affair is complete without a show-stopping look, and Heart delivered exactly that. She dazzled in a custom Dior Couture creation, a heavily embellished gown that highlighted her signature elegance. Complementing this statement piece was her fiery red hair, adding a bold contrast to the delicate tones of her ensemble.

The look was a true reflection of her status as a fashion muse, effortlessly combining classic sophistication with a modern edge.

One of the night’s most touching moments was a surprise performance by music icon Gary Valenciano, arranged by Heart’s husband, Senate President Chiz Escudero.

His rendition of Warrior is a Child moved Heart to tears, making for an emotional highlight of the evening. Additional performances from The CompanY and Xtina Superstar added to the celebratory atmosphere.
